Well, Robert and I made it safely back from Greece last night! Below is a day-by-day account of our trip for anyone who is interested. Since this is a food blog, my notes revolve heavily around what we ate each day. Overall, the food was really so-so and I hate say that I have had much better Greek food here in the United States. If I ate meat, I’m sure I would feel differently because a lot of the grilled meats I saw looked delicious. Vegetables were surprisingly hard to come by and were always overcooked for my taste. And, since I don’t like tomatoes, Greek salads for me were nothing more than cucumbers with feta and perhaps a few olives. The most surprising thing: no pitas anywhere! Nearly every meal came with French fries and bread. We did have some excellent meals however. The broad beans in tomato sauce and yogurt with fruits were the most reliable foods. I drank lots of house wine, retsina and Mythos beer which tasted kind of like Singha or Sapporo. I am really looking forward to eating sushi and Thai food again. Here is my report (I am tired so I’m sure there are lots of spelling and grammatical errors - please ignore): Ellen and Robert’s trip to Greece (2005)
